Greetings Sista Kaya,
Give thanks for posting the Essene Gospel for InI. It was helpful. Iman notice that the Issenes went thru serious trials and convictions of the flesh in order to be cleansed to take on the hola spirit of Yah. Iman wanted to bring up a different meditation in Colossians 2:16-23. In summary, Paul talks about the fact that "you are not to be disqualified by the decision of people who go in for self-mortification and angel-worship, and try to enter into some vision of their own." He goes on to talk that Christ is InI life giver, so simply for InI to humble Iself to Christ, self-mortification and angel-worship are not necessary. Iman is wondering is Paul saying that Christ has done away with these techniques and methods of reaching higher spiritual consciousness or that these ways were not for everyone so Yahshua loves InI anyway? Just a question. Secondly, is the I part of the EOC or simply follow InI Messiah without the religious practice? Give thanks sistren for the reasonings. Iman appreciate these things very much, there is only so much doctrine and dogma Iman can discuss, its time to get to the heart of faith, Love and Faith in the Almighty I, Yahshua.
One Perfect Love Sista
